What did you do?
I would set the user_id on the post and then do something like $post->user_id === auth()->id()

How to check if a record belongs to a user?
Let's say my User can make blog posts. I have now retrieved a blog post and I want check if the given blog post belongs to the authenticated user so it can be edited. I was able to accomplish that but it doesn't seem the best way to do it.

@WILK_RANDALL - That is what I did. But I was wondering if there was something I could co using eloquent, like:
´´´ $post->user->has(Auth::user()) ´´´

Sure, you can make whatever methods you want on your models. I would do it on the post though.
class Post extends Model
{
public function ownedBy($userId = null)
{
$userId = $userId ?: auth()->id();
return $this->user_id === $userId;
}
}
